Whole Wheat Pita Pockets
Serves: 12
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Ingredients
3 Cups
White whole wheat flour
2 Teaspoons
Baking powder
3/4 Teaspoon
Salt
1 Cup
Warm water
Directions
1
In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Using a food processor, gradually add water and mix until a crumbly dough forms. Pulse on and off briefly just until a ball begins to form.
2
Turn out dough onto a floured board. Form dough together and divide into 12 pieces. Shape each into a smooth ball. Cover well with plastic wrap, and allow to rest for at least 20 minutes or more.
3
When ready to pan-grill, flatten one ball at a time, and use a rolling pin to create a 5- or 6-inch circle.
4
Heat a nonstick griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Place flattened dough onto the dry hot pan. Don’t disturb, as it begins to grill. When dough starts to puff up in the middle after a few minutes, and becomes golden on the bottom, it’s time to flip. Allow the other side to cook for a minute or two, and remove from pan when toasty on the second side. Repeat with other portions of dough.
5
Keep the pitas steamy and soft by stacking them inside of a folded cloth towel. Serve pita loaves right away, while soft and warm.
